    I'd been up all night last night throwing up with a sickness bug. I managed to get DD to school but fell asleep/passed out at around 11am and woke up at 3.40 making me 30 mins late to picking my DD up at the school without explanation :(

    My eldest son was sat outside waiting for me to open the door with his mate as I hadn't even heard the door knocking. Or the phone ringing. Both of them!

    Since DS3 has ingested Flash twice with no ill-effects it must be perfectly safe to use on skin :D

    I've not gone to any antenatals.. not the classes the actual appointments! They really don't like that!

    I have dummies waiting too.. though only 2 of mine have ever used them!

    I'm another one who never went to antenatal classes. I did work in maternity for a short while so I figured I already knew enough about babies being born.

    I mistakenly went the once and found it to awash with twee couples in stripey dungarees (well the pregnant half) stroking their belly, smiling inanely and saying 'Hi everybody, we're Andy and Debs and we're having a babeeeee' and 'We'd very much like Debs to have a natural labour with mood lighting and Enya playing on the CD' Well I'll reserve judgement on how much of a loved-up 'team' you are thanks until baby's been home for a couple of weeks and you're both sleep deprived, starving and with no clean clothes.

    (apologies to anyone called Andy or Debs who don't fit this description :D)

    I had dummies already sterilised before my 2nd 2 were born. I learnt from my 1st. I also made their bottles up when I was in labour so they were all ready as soon as they needed them.

    I don't sterilise anything.. I'll run them through the dishwasher if they are needed!

    Im a bad mummy!

    My daughter is 4 now but...
    I never went to antenatal classes.
    I used formula milk.
    I used disposable nappies.
    I used and still use wipes.
    I started weening early because i knew she was ready.
    When pregnant i ate runny yolks and goats cheese.
    I had the odd glass of wine.
    I let her watch tv while i get afew jobs done.
    I went back to work after 6 months.
    She has a sweet tooth because i let her eat sweet stuff (as treats i stress,she does like her fruit and veg!)
    I walk away from crying/screaming etc and sit in another room.
    I've seen her put dirt/fluff etc in her mouth and didnt call an ambulance.:eek:


    I could go on forever!!
